Make a game using a pre-made engine. Only make your own engine if you're primarily interested in graphics/systems programming. You'll almost certainly be using someone else's engine, so learning a few different ones should be to your benefit (& prove you can adapt).
- MorpheusOMG 10y agoThis is good advice in today's landscape (an alternative approach to my answer above). Tech matters to me, I wanted to understand many things deeply, I didn't want my knowledge to exist entirely inside of someone else's genius work (such as Unreal Engine game development where you're scripting everything/wiring up game logic/etc.). However, doing the kind of thing I did a decade ago is almost impossible with the tech expectations of today, and also, simply not really necessary.
